Install Theme (Savannah)

Hello! Thanks for shopping with us!

Let's jump right in and start installing and setting up your new Blogger template!

Recommendation: Use a test blog first

If you have a blog that is already live with content and receiving visits from readers, we strongly, strongly, 100% recommend trying out your new Blogger template on a test blog prior to installing the template on your live blog.

To learn how to setup a test blog and export your test blog setup to your live blog, see this tutorial.

Step 1: Backup your current template

Go to the Theme configuration page. THE PAGE IS NOW CALLED "THEME" - IT IS THE SAME PAGE, NEW NAME.

Click on the Backup/Restore button in the top right hand corner of the screen. The Template > Backup/Restore box will open up.

To backup your current template, click on the orange Download theme button. Your template will download to your computer’s download folder with a name like template-##############. If want to restore your old template at any time you can upload this file using the Backup/Restore feature.

Step 2: Upload Template

Follow the video tutorial and see below for detailed written directions:

Written Directions:

In the same Theme configuration page, click on the Backup/Restore button in the top right-hand corner of the screen.

In the Template > Backup/Restore box, click on the Browse button.

From you computer files, choose your Blogger template to upload. Make sure you are selecting the .xml file.

For the "Pink" or "Demo #2" version, choose the Adelle_blogger_template_pink.xmlfile from the Demo #2 folder.

Click the Upload button.

You’ll see a little spinner next to the Upload button while your template uploads. If there are any template errors, they will appear in the Template > Backup/Restore box.
